NEWS FLASH

Aegean Airlines will not be returning to Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport next summer season according to its preliminary 2017 schedule. The Greek carrier introduced two weekly seasonal flights from Athens to the Slovenian capital in June. Despite talk of a possible service between Athens and Zagreb, the carrier's spokeswoman, Stavroula Saloutsi, told EX-YU Aviation News that "no such plans currently exist". The Greek airline will also continue to maintain year-round flights to Belgrade and seasonal services to Dubrovnik and Split.

A pity. It seems that it s not easy to convince Slovenians on their travel preferences. They are in love with the coast in Croatia, i think Nr 2 in visutors. So no wonder that airlines trying to operate a route to ATH or BCN are failing

Croatian cost is beautiful, weather in summer is perfect, Slovenians love to travel with their own car, language is similar. Many has Slovenians have summer houses or they rent them from other Slovenians or Croats, others can camp. So many (wealthy and mot) Slovenians have dogs and it's hard to fly with them. Majority of Slovenians that can effort vacation don't care of ultra high season prices, because with steady government jobscan arrange vacation before or after the 3-4 weeks top price season. That's it.Other can't go on vacation not before not later so they must stay at home.

In my mother parts family everybody speaks serbo-croatian. And I must say speaking Italian English German I ve never had a problem with communication in Croatia. In Istria I can even speak Slovenian and many understandNext werk I travel to Brela, my 2nd vacation this year in Croatia. I cant wait to be there :-)

I think it is 25 per day during winter and more than 30 during summer EACH WAY.So total number of daily flights is something between 50 and 60 total flights every day.Still seem a lot of flights but I am not sure if it is time efficient and cheap to drive instead between those two cities.

That's a pity! It was great to fly to Ljubljana directly from Athens. What is more, my friends and I liked Slovenia so much, that we have recommended it to dozens of people so far.But, in Greece, LJU was one of the least advertised destinations among Aegean's new summer 2016 routes. On the other hand, Jože Pučnik Airport had quite a few billboards/posters promoting ATH.

ATH-LJU was probably 60-65% full, while LJU-ATH was close to 100%, with a lot of people that seemed to be transiting in ATH (early to mid-July).
